Zephaniah: Seek the Lord

“Seek ye the Lord, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his
judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be
hid in the day of the Lord’s anger” (Zephaniah. 2:3 KJV).

“Come to the Lord, all you who are not proud, who obey his laws.
Do what is right. Learn to be humble. Maybe you will escape on
the day of the Lord shows his anger” (Zephaniah 2:3 NCV).

Zephaniah, the prophet offered hope to his people of his days who
had already turned themselves to the Lord. He encouraged them to
make their commitment again to the Lord and to remind themselves
about God’s ways. The prophet encouraged people to seek three things if they want to experience revival and renewed blessing from the Lord.

How do we really experience revival and receive blessing from God?
First, we need to seek God Himself. Our hearts need to turn toward
Him with a deep desire to know and love Him as our covenant Lord
and protector. Secondly, we need to seek righteousness according
to God’s Word as their way of life. In this part, we are to study His
Word and allow His Word to guide us, to correct us, and to lead us
into His path. Thirdly, seek meekness. We are to seek humility which
means that we realize that we are helpless in many ways and we need
to submit ourselves in obedience to God and His Word. The Lord
will revived us and bless us with health, relationship, finances,
business and many more.

Prayer to God: Oh that You, heavenly Father would bless me indeed
and make more room to bless me more and more until I am overflowed with Your goodness and Your mercy all over me. Allow me to feel Your Presence and Your power of healing all over me in Jesus’ name I pray. Amen
